This piece was made to accompany the Oregon Origins project "Seven Wonders" premiere held at Reed College in Portland Oregon, May 19, 2023. The program included music for string quartet composed by Matthew Packwood and inspired by seven of Oregon's most beautiful geologic landscapes. The music was accompanied by an original dance piece by Makino Hayashi, followed by the story of the geology by Ian Madin.
This piece represents Silver Falls in western Oregon, where Silver Creek cascades over layers of Columbia River Basalt in a deep canyon shaded by old growth forest. The opal nodule was deposited by hot mineral rich waters in a void in the top of one of the Columbia River Basalt flows.
